The Crimson Clown wrote:Nothing for Raznor & Ross and Melancholia, practically strawberry float all for Drive. Thank strawberry float The Tree of Life made it, although that doesn't have a hope in hell winning.

Melancholia had no chance after Von Trier's Cannes outburst. That shouldn't affect people's choices, of course, but it does. And while Shame was never going to get a nod from the prudish Academy, I too am surprised Fassbender isn't in there. Again, Drive's not an Academy film. Too violent. It's a cult flick, and its 'underground' appeal would actually be harmed by association with the Oscars so I imagine Winding Refn is probably quite pleased.
